    I agree that this can help offline transfer happen.

     

    in the use case, I can transfer 365 days to someone without payment -- but they can also sell it or transfer to someone else. This can defeat the purpose of me wanting someone to be subscribed for one year. 

     

    if i transfer 1 day everyday for 365 days, using this power, I can prevent them from selling all the 365 days. i think this is possible since the other user cannot transfer/sell a day that is being consumed. 

    In this case I feel it would be easier to just be able to buy someone a subscription for a set amt of time.  7 day subscription, 30 day, 3months, 6 months, 1 year options.

    I can get on board with this, but not the xat parent/guardian idea.

  2. I can not begin to even express the emotions and how truly proud I am of you. I always said I can  leave this place behind once you have reached all of your goals. 

    My dream of wanting to  motive, inspire and teach, has been fulfilled. You are  my last child growing wings, flying high, and leaving my nest.  

    I remember when we first met.  You wanted this so much.  I knew you had much to learn.  I knew that you needed to grow.  I can recall getting in trouble for being too harsh on you at times.  People looking in could not understand where we were trying to go.

    From that point, you started to grow.  I told you when you were wrong.  I also told you when you were right.  People came at me for protecting you like my child.   Truth is you are my xat child. 

    The Truth is also that you have done most of this on your own.  I could only guide. Never doubt in yourself.  Always believe.  Anyone's dreams can come true if they just have the courage and the passion to pursue them.

    If anyone has proven that, it is you. You set by example.    Leaders are Born and raised. Not everyone can be a leader.  You ARE that leader. <3

  3. I think instead xat should give an option to convert so many xats into a day.

    Yes we have trade and such for this, however you can not get into trade without a subscriber day.

    Makes more sense to have an ask button and for xat to do it for you.

    I'm curious to know how you got what you don't want, you don't agree for others to have.
    No offense Ariana Grande (hippo)

    I hardly doubt that anyone who was given the chance to have this pawn, would not use it.  

    You can disagree with a reason and yet still be proud  and honored you were chosen.  Lemona devotes alot of time to xat.

    Not only does she do a fantastic job in helping out, she also keeps it fun for the users.  If anyone deserves this pawn from a normal user standpoint,

    chances are it would be Lemona.  No offence to anyone else,  Just Lemona is the one on chat bringing users together and making things fun.  

    She is helping to keep the users here IMO.  That in itself is a very important role.  

     

    Most of us who were against the pawn for our reasons, have moved on.  Our reasons became irrelevant once xat decided to give the pawn.

    Instead of being jealous, lets be proud of those who have achieved it and their accomplishments and be the bigger person.

  5. What you should be lobbying for instead is for your favorite chats to have "subscriber days" to draw the crowds in. 

    Hey on August 1st...xat.com/noname is giving any visitor not registered 5 days to register if you spend the day in chat.  Any registered user without days, will receive a free day.

    This brings people to your chat, encourages them to register, and once they see the features of being subscribed...they want more and buy. I did this in trades early days and it worked.

  6. You guys need to understand, as volunteers, they need to be supportive of xat.  They do not make the rules.  Why would they also "invest money", when they already invest time?

    I agree though. Something so simple as react should be free.  Toons are people too. :'(  Maybe they should make the resellers and influencers the investors, with this thought process. (rolleyes)

  7. It is a deserted island...therefor no electricity people.  No social media. No gaming systems., at least once the power sources die.  

    Unless you are so good...you figure out how to convert electricity from salt water.  I would take a fishing net, a knife, and a hammock.

    I plan to survive.  LOL

    I'm kind of confused here, what's the target demographic for this?

     

    Imo, the appeal of xat is its niche characteristics.

     

    The difference between these sites/apps (snapchat, instagram, tiktok or whatever) and xat is that they are built around images and videos, while xat is focused around chatting.

    Making a product fit for every possible situation does not increase the appeal of the platform; It dilutes the already existing and highlighted features, which are already appealing to the targeted userbase. 

     

    A great use of this would be to make these filters/overlays for OTHER platforms that highlight and advertise xat, and still achieve what you're wanting.

     

    I guess you do not have teenagers or young adults?  That would be your targeted area. All those platforms have chatting and most have added new group chat features as well, so why would they wish to advertise xat to take away from their audience?

    xat is just a WAY better platform for chatting with all it has to offer.

     

    While I realize it is not for everyone, I think you are missing the boat.  What would bring more users to xat and keep them here? 

     

  9. The ultimate goal is to bring users to xat.  Powers alone can not keep doing this.

    Features need to be added to give a reason to come and stay.  The difference is these other sites do not

    have what xat already has to offer. Giving them what they want and use, and then blend of what xat already has, will make xat their preferred site of choice.

    Does it look like we'd have something like insta filters, changing backgrounds, adding smileys, texts etc to these images.

     

    Then uploading to xat.me (on xat's storage/servers),

     

    Am I right?

    I do not think it would be too difficult of an app to make. No different then live or a gaming app I would think. I am not a developer though and maybe wrong.

    Alot of people are always saying they wish we had something like this though.  I am just bringing the idea to the table.

    Is it a terrible idea because it is basically xats spin on snapchat, instagram, tiktok or whatever? Possibly.  But it can also be a good idea because these are the apps

    these kids and young adults use.

    You would like cloud space for profile photos and videos xat.me ?

    storage space to upload the photos to on xat.me, which we already have. I was just saying where they can add them.

  11. Pretty simple.  A photo app where xat smileys can be backgrounds or stickers for images etc.

    You can already add things like this to xat.me so it can contribute for basic storage.

  12. From the very first forum mod to you... I love you <3

    Congratulations on finally getting everything you worked for, reaching your dreams, and feeling accomplished.

    I feel like my last child is growing up and it is bittersweet to watch and see you shine and overcome. 

    I honestly CAN NOT think of anyone more deserving who has devoted  their life into helping others, in this little 

    universe we call xat.  Shine bright like Ariana.... while I go cry happy tears for you. (blowkiss)

    You are probably not informed or aware of this, but the Turkish Government through the BTK has launched an application for all those companies or websites that were censored in the country and wish to appeal. Even in some cases you can see if there is a decision to block your website and what is the reason, because some sites were not communicated the block/reason, we could say that censorship and freedom are being relaxed again.

     

    After submitting the application you will have to ''fight'' for what will be administrative expenses, you will have to have a physical person with rights of the website in the country or in some Turkish embassy in the world, hire a lawyer, print papers, send physical and signed documents by the owners of xat from England to Turkey, you will probably also have to pay some kind of tax or itinerary to the court that will take the case.

    Yes but in most cases it is still denied.  Or you get the permissions to unblock and the  companies that oversee the service providers are compromised.  It is just such a losing game at this point that I would not think xat would want to invest expenses and legal strategy.  At least not until some things begin to change from within.  Do not get me wrong....I can appreciate this being a topic of discussion.  Just how ongoing it has been is what has me surprised.  Thanks for the further explanation.

    Appeal against decisions to block xat access in Turkey

      Hide contents

    xat.com is currently blocked in Turkey due to their government's social media laws. A member of the group suggested xat admins try to appeal the block via the Turkish legal process. This may help boost the number of Turkish users on the website. However, this would also be a very complex, expensive process with no guarantee of any results. The discussion continues.

     

     

     

    I am surprised this is even a discussion.  I would love to see some feedback on this as someone who tried to help the turkish communities for years and personally having witnessed the problems it can create.

    It is not just about the expense.  You would have to fight the government and the AKP, METU and BTK.  I would think this is an area where hands are tied until there really is freedom of press as well as Freedom of

    internet.  

  15. 2006 from an embedded Webkinz site.  Charlie, Gizzy, Sooky, and a few others, came with me from there to here, as well. 

    This webkinz site was also shown to Admins, showing how we could trade virtual powers and the profit in it.

  16. Did we not have a feedback chat long ago for this?

    Admins also use to use polls for this type of thing.  

    Maybe this is another push for the "polls" to make a popular comeback.

    Contributors were also made for this sort of thing.

     

    I also am not being negative as I feel some form of user feedback is important. 

    I do agree with Steven that as history has shown, it is unlikely that the implementation of this

    idea would "last" and be effectively used.  Admins rely on a few top volunteers to speak for the community

    and represent.

    You know better than others that some groups are working more than others, as former staff you would know it... I may mention wiki translators (as site translators - they were not even mentioned so far), volunteers for giving their time to reply tickets and do the right move, devs for keeping development of html5 chat/pages.

     

    The verification system would fit better, yeah, even for other ranks. Maybe in future updates we see it, admins are reading these opnions I'm sure. As I said, post title says "new pawn for influencers", not "new pawn for staff", so my conclusion is that it's a kind of temp reward.

    I would never consider myself former staff.  Former volunteer..yes.  Even when I wanted 143M it was not handed to me. It took Charlie and I selling our xat.me domain for me to get it.  At the opportunities presented when I could have received it as reward, I chose the other person to receive instead of myself.  I realize not everyone thinks the way I do nor should they have too.  Wiki translators as well as contribs or any volunteer group not listed, should just have as much right to this pawn as the label volunteer.  I have the upmost respect for Sydno and the current volunteers in all forms.

  18. Everyone wants to come to New York.  Honestly...for shopping perhaps, and the experience, but it is overrated.

    Noise, traffic, dirt, and expense... Just a few things that come to mind.  If you do come though.....look me up as I am 1 state over.

    I love living in the East coast of America.  Actually where I live reminds me of England alot, minus the roundabouts.

    From someone who is pretty "well-traveled", my next goals are probably Greece, for my daughters high school graduation,

    Italy, Bosnia, and those regions.
